Mal: What the....!

Angela: I neglected to mention there are certain... fringe benefits to working for the Company. If you're highly-enough placed. And have access to certain people who can... well.

Mal: Depends. Can the professor do what you just did?

Angela: No. We've made sure of that.

Mal: Deal. You just hired yourself a boat.
